That's fair - changed now so that you get this if "graphson" isn't set:
```text
[exec] Error: Hook 'prepare_traversal_source' from
/home/smallette/git/apache/incubator-tinkerpop/gremlin-python/target/python2/radish/terrain.py:66
raised: 'ValueError: test configuration requires setting of
--user-data="graphson=*" to one of [v2,v3]'
[exec]
[exec] Traceback (most recent call last):

[exec] ValueError: test configuration requires setting of

```
also, if you don't have a good value for "graphson" then you get:
```text
[exec] Error: Hook 'prepare_traversal_source' from
/home/smallette/git/apache/incubator-tinkerpop/gremlin-python/target/python2/radish/terrain.py:66
raised: 'ValueError: serializer set with --user-data="graphson=v2" must be one
